After a period of decided reserve,
Pier Ferdinando Casini breaks the silence with a post on Instagram in which he declares his love for politics.
"The passion for politics is my life !!", he underlines, attaching a photo of him in black and white.
A young Casini, nineteen, speaking from the stage of a conference of the youth movement of the DC.
Almost fifty years of commitment to democracy and institutions, therefore, seems to be proudly claiming while many appear to be ready, instead, to celebrate the funeral of politics.
To more than one it appears as a signal in these excited days, when his name has entered the Quirinale on several occasions.
Even today many cite him as a possible tenant of the highest hill
. Another true Christian Democrat, like
Clemente Mastella
, says in an interview with the press: 'Several Five Stars have come to me to say: Casini is better than Draghi'. 'If I had to give advice - adds the mayor of Benevento - Draghi is very good, continue to be prime minister. I don't see why Casini can't be a good name. ' The person concerned fights with the reporters who, after the second ballot, ask him if they should already call him president: 'You must call me Casini, as you have always called me for forty years', he replies with the usual Bolognese attitude.
And again, to
those who ask him how he lives this moment that sees him among the candidates for the post of head of state, he simply replies: 'The important thing is health'
.
In short, the silence is broken, but not too much.
Also because - as another long-time politician, the group leader of Italia Viva in the Chamber
Ettore Rosato
recalls - this is precisely the golden rule for those who aspire to the presidency of the Republic: 'Those who are less appointed have more chances'.
Silence is golden, therefore.
And to date this is precisely the strategy observed by the former Speaker of the House.
